Dark City

Brilliant, atmospheric, gorgeous, lovingly detailed, intelligent, and so much more. I'd forgotten how much the Matrix ripped off from it- including some of the sets, as if ripping off concepts were simply not enough.

Mission: Impossible III

Insulting to every possible sense and basic intelligence. Take Dramamine- the camera never, ever, ever stops moving.

Why aren't these people working for the space program?

I'm Forcing Goodness Upon You, Don't Look So Down!

"I'm driving in my auto
I'm going to the post office
I'm sending you a package
Filled with love and joy

I hear you have some problems
That need all your concentrated worrying
I understand your suffering
I'm observing all your grief
But this is a world where I like to hang my hat
Something good's going to happen to you today!
How about that? "

- Shari Elf, "I'm forcing Goodness Upon You" (excerpted)
